Books like Exegetical fallacies by D. A. Carson

Name: Exegetical fallacies
Rating: 5 (2 reviews)
Author: D. A. Carson

In this handbook, D. A. Carson systematically catalogues 48 frequently encountered fallacies in biblical interpretation. Organized into four groups—word‑study, grammatical, logical, and presuppositional/historical—each entry explains why the mistake is problematic and offers recommended corrective practice. Carson illustrates these errors with examples from a range of authors, including notable liberals, conservatives, Calvinists, Arminians, and respected scholars, as well as selected popular preachers. The volume begins by highlighting the importance of recognizing exegetical fallacies, the dangers of overlooking them, and the scope of the work. It concludes with a brief list of additional areas where fallacies may arise but are not fully addressed here. Tailored for seminary students, pastors, and undergraduate Bible students with elementary Greek, the book aims to improve study rigor without technical complexity.
